17. Religion or Belief

17.1. Evidence gathered: There is little
information in relation to people from different religious
backgrounds that can help us gain insight into the impacts on
people who share this characteristic beyond the data available for
the general population.

17.2. Effects/Impacts: There is no data currently
available that suggests that any disproportionate effects will be
felt by people of different religion or belief. People of different
religious backgrounds will have the same opportunity to access
advice and information about the Programme and will be assisted in
every way to understand the reasoning behind the proposals, how it
will benefit people and options open to them when looking at energy
efficiency.
